NotePlan overview
NotePlan is designed to make your task planning more productive. It solves problems like bloated, ever-growing to-do lists.
- Modern Writing - Enjoy a full writing area with Markdown and injected flavour for productivity.
- Calendar Notes - A calendar shows you where the action is. Jump right into a day to manage it by writing notes into each day.
- Backlog Notes - Save away your backlogs and general notes behind the daily planning and apart from the calendar.
Features
- Full, modern writing tool included for every day of a month - NotePlan will give you the convenience of a modern writing editor supporting markdown. Add formatting to your task lists and notes to keep it better organized.
- Monthly calendar overview with color-coded daily note content - See a summary of your notes and color coded lists in a monthly calendar view. Use keyboard shortcuts to navigate and quickly jump into a day to review or edit it. The calendar will also show you, if you missed out on some tasks, so nothing important slips from your mind.
- Schedule tasks to stay organized - If you couldn't finish a task, don't leave it unmanaged on the list. Re-schedule it to another day. Or, if you manage a backlog, schedule a todo directly from there onto your calendar.
- Backlogs, drafts, bug lists or just text notes, apart from the calendar - Some information is not related to a day and should be kept separated from the calendar. Like bug lists or project backlogs. They can be managed in NotePlan and scheduled directly into the calendar, when required. Notes can be organized by tagging them. In the overview you can filter your notes by tags.
- Your notes are not saved on our servers. You will find them safe and sound in your iCloud Drive.
- Integrations to useful apps like iCalender, Reminders, and more are available.
What’s new in version 3.9.10
Updated on Nov 29 2023
Introducing: **time block calendar sync**! You can now sync your NotePlan time blocks to your calendar as events in NotePlan 3.9.10.
Promote Time Blocks to Calendar Events
- You can now sync NotePlan time blocks as events to a calendar of your choice. Click the gear icon in the top-right corner and choose the option at the bottom of the list: "Create Events", and select the calendar you want to let NotePlan sync your timeblocks into. This will turn your NotePlan time blocks for the selected day into calendar events.
- This deeper integration with the calendar allows you to “send” your timeline into other calendar and scheduling apps. For example, send your timeblocks to your Google or Outlook calendar to mark yourself as unavailable in these blocks of time. Or simply use it to see your timeblocks appear in your external calendar apps and widgets, so it’s easier to protect your focus time.
Improved
- Better copy/paste of tasks. When you paste a task onto an empty task line, only the task contents is pasted and not the task icon markdown(`- []`).
- Pasting links in a code block no longer resolves the link to a title.
- The weekly references on top of a daily note now only show the top tasks, with collapsible/expandable sub tasks.
Fixed
- Fixed various minor crashes
- Dragging a task with sub-tasks not the timeline of a different day assigned the date to the last task in the list.
- Titles of links can be edited normally now, before the keyboard shifted to upper scale randomly.
- When stopping the transcription, the cursor jumped to a random position.
- The Command Bar kept closing during plugin execution.

Version: 2.4.6
It doesn't look like MacUpdate has been keeping this app up to date. It's now up to version 3.8 and is still actively developed. Version 3 is a big upgrade (in terms of functionality and price, now being a subscription), but I couldn't live without it.

Version: 2.2
With the new 'markdown live rendering' (i.e. you see rich text, not markdown even though that's what it's using), this great task management app has become even more user-friendly. The same markdown rendering is also now live on the iPhone/iPad apps as well.

Solid app, regularly updated. Bought this a few months ago and am slowly migrating my Todoist tasks to it.

Version: 2.0.10
This is a great app for getting my tasks down and then organising them. Uses markdown as well as the built-in Reminders and Calendar across Mac and iOS

This has been such a wonderful discovery. I enjoy being able to mix notes, to-dos, links, etc. in the same area just for the day. The program keeps getting better.

I would have to say this is the best Task Manager app I’ve ever used (and yes I said the same thing about Things when it was still shiny and new after the upgrade to version 3). This works like a combination of TaskPaper (outline your tasks in plain text) and Things (get to see your Calendar events and todos in the same space as well as having a dedicated page for Today). I’ve only been using it for a few days but have already bought the iOS app and see myself buying the Mac app once the demo is over.

I've had NotePlan for my Mac and iPhone since the betas. I use it in conjunction with Things 3. The beauty of NotePlan for me is that it allows me to break down tasks for projects quite easily, and then work through them on a calendar-ToDo list. I could do this with Things or OmniFocus, but I like how NotePlan allows me to delineate my tasks within a project without over crowding a GTD program like Things. I may not need both, but I am more productive using them together. One more thing: the developer is great. He seems to be genuinely interested in user input, and her responds to queries and suggestions quickly and thoroughly.

It's nice to see that hashtag support is coming soon! Very simple and useful app.
